Order Afatinib 40mg Tablets (Generic Gilotrif)
Afatinib 40mg is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used for the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific EGFR mutations. This product is manufactured by Beacon Pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh under the brand name Afanix. It is a high-quality generic alternative to the innovator brand Gilotrif (or Giotrif).
Why Choose Afanix 40mg (Beacon)? Targeted therapies are the gold standard for EGFR-positive lung cancer but can be financially out of reach. Afanix 40mg offers the exact same mechanism of action—irreversibly binding to the EGFR receptor to stop cancer cell growth—at a significantly more affordable price point. Beacon Pharma is a global leader in oncology generics, ensuring strict quality control.
Medical Indications:

Frequently Asked Questions about Afatinib 40mg
Q: Is Afanix 40mg the same as Gilotrif? A: Yes. It is a bio-equivalent generic. It contains the exact same active ingredient (Afatinib Dimaleate) and strength. It is designed to work exactly the same way in the body.
Q: How should I take this medicine? A: CRITICAL: You must take Afatinib on an empty stomach. This means taking it at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Food blocks the absorption of the drug, making it less effective.
Q: What is the most common side effect? A: Diarrhea is a very common side effect. Your doctor will likely prescribe anti-diarrheal medicine (like Loperamide) to have on hand. It can also cause an acne-like skin rash.
Q: Can I crush the tablet? A: No, you should swallow the tablet whole. If you have severe difficulty swallowing, you can dissolve the tablet in a glass of plain water (no other liquids), stir for 15 minutes, and drink immediately.
Q: Do I need a prescription? A: Yes. Afatinib 40mg is a potent anti-cancer medication. We strictly require a valid prescription from a licensed oncologist before dispatching any order.
